Suggestions for Jelly-Malers.
Is. Marie Muller, in Good Housekeeping.
several requisites are necessary for successful
Jelly making. First among these is the using OF
vessels upon which acids, found more less in all
fruits, Will have no effect, For this purpose
earthernware is always preferable, and wooden or
silver spoons for skmming, etc The best granu-
lated sugar pint for pint always give the most salts
factory results Fruit intended for Jelly must not
be overripe; rather the reverse. Do not undertake
to boil more than two or thu &c glasses at boiling
since too large quantity involves longer cooking
which makes ely tough and ropy, instead of crisp
and firm. Bon and skim the juice before adding the
sugar which should be heated before incorporating
it with TIE juice White, Shaker flannel makes the
| best bag for straining the juice.
The process oil jelly making should be completed
the same day, bearing in mind that bright, fair
weather improves the color and flavor of jelly. To
test Jelly for the purpose of aSceraning whether 1t
is cooked sufficiently, drop small quantity into
ice cold water, and lift sinks to the bottom at once
and does not spread, it is done. When clear,
transparent color is desired only such juice Grips
through the bag without squeezing, should be used
When ready to put away cover the surface with
paper previously dipped in alcohol, brandy wine;
or rub the under side of paper with little fresh
butter which is equally good for keeping of the
mould. Jelly keeps best in dark, cool, dry place.
Ribbon jelly, or that made in two colors, is done
in this wise; Fill one-fourth of jelyglass full of
some light colored jelly, such as green grapes.
When set, color similar quantity with q few drops
of prepared cochneal; carefully pour over this red
layer, and so continue till the glass is full. Or
make plum and green grape jelly at the same time,
and alternate till your mould is full.
1t is not generally known that the gelatinous sub
clio in ipi
fore they ready to turn and at that time make a
most delicious, deiicately favored, amber colored
jelly, requiring only few minutes boiling, proYid-
ed the sugar is first heated.
The parings Of ounces, apples, pears when
thoroughly boiled in water enough to cover make
an excellent jelly. This is an item worth remem-
berng when fruit is high and scarce. Jelly which is
not very firm can be set aside for spreading on jelly
cakes. Bits OF jelly left from the table may be
whipped with the white of an egg and little lemon
juice, until quite white and stiff; then set away in
| cool place and use on pudding as meringue.

| learning TO make bread. premium had been
offered at q coming fair in my county for the best
loaf of yeast bread. knew that bread consisted Of
wheat -four yeast, little salt and leayen, but how
| much Of each or how pat together, did not know.
| YET 1 resolved to contend for the premium made
my first loaf The recipe called for ore yeast cake
| but thought two would make it so much lighter;
| so used two. You would have thought there were
q dozen in it, Then went Oh the other extreme,
trying to see how little could use in order to avoid
that yeasty ia SIC. Somebody told me that if was
| going to try for the premium to use half -four and
half corn starch. did So and the leaf turned out
to be splendid material for headstone Then tried
alum for whitening the bread, but must have used
| too much, as my bread was of that hue known as
| baby blue. ] changed the yeast and the quantity
several dozen times. Once | used yeast made OF
peachree leaves. The bread tasted like It had been
| Favored with eSscnse OF bitter almonds. Ny hus-
band asked me day if had ever tried vanilla or
lemon Or celery seed. At last concluded that my
failures could not be attributed to my lack Of skill
but concluded that the -four was in fault ! sent TO
Minneapolis for balrel OF Pillsburys Patent l

to great deal Of unnecessary trouble, but learned
the pitfalls and know how TO make bread for al the
future have given my experience to show that
experimenting is not waste of time and material

than to daily set before my family the poorest quality
Of bread? had about the same experience with
